BAINBRIDGE –  The Bainbridge Island Rope Skippers and special guest jumpers from Hot Dog USA in Kirkland joined forces to put on a crowd-drawing performance at Paski Gymnasium.

Lizzy Sharman and Anna Warga organized the community show.

Although the senior project graduation requirement has been lifted, Bainbridge High School senior Anna Warga said she still wanted to organize the third annual One World One Rope community jump rope benefit show, so she enlisted the help of Lizzy Sharman, a former jumper and part-time coach.

The duo coordinated a high-flying acrobatic performance that impressed the crowd, raising more than $2,000 for the One World One Rope organization, which provides opportunities to youth in Africa through the sport of jump rope.
